Chapter 42 Wanting To See Her
“Are you single, sir?”
Samuel was rendered speechless.
“If you don’t say anything, I will assume that it is true.” The young kid blinked his clear eyes once and tilted up his chubby face. “Mommy is also single. You are compatible with each other.”
Looking at the young kid, he thought the boy looked as old as Franklin and Sophia and that would mean he was either four or five years old. However, the tone of his voice was mature.
Samuel stubbed out his cigarette and asked lightly, “Did your mother teach you to say that?”
“I did not tell her that I’m here to see you.”
“You lied to her?”
“She doesn’t think that you can be my stepfather and keeps telling me to give it up.”
Upon saying that, Xavian shook his head dramatically. It’s really tough for me as a son to keep track of Mommy’s personal affairs. She really worries me.
“Really?” With disdainful eyes, Samuel snorted in disbelief.
“Sir, I’ve investigated your background. As the head of the Bowers family, you are an excellent man. But Mommy is pretty good too. She is a woman who has the looks and the brain. If you don’t want to pursue Mommy, there are many others who want to pursue her. I can find someone else for her.”
Xavian spoke with a serious note. However, Samuel merely leaned down and ruffled his hair unhurriedly.
“You can find another person for your mommy.”
Xavian did not think that Samuel would reject his proposal. Therefore, when he heard the reply, he was stunned and looked at Samuel in disbelief.
“Y-You…”
“There’s a woman that I want.” Samuel narrowed his eyes and continued, “Therefore, I’m not interested in other women.”
It was Xavian’s turn to be speechless.
Stunned once again, he clenched his fingers into tiny fists.
“Since you don’t like Mommy, you will regret it sooner or later.”
Samuel withdrew his hand and did not respond. Then, the corner of his mouth lifted into an ambiguous smirk.
He did not like children except Franklin and Sophia. Moreover, he did not like a self-righteous kid.
However, even though the young kid had said things that he did not like to hear, there were no feelings of hatred toward him. It could very well be because Xavian looked very similar to him.
Regardless, that was all.
Samuel then turned to leave the place. Meanwhile, Xavian’s chubby face was getting rounder as frustration grew in him, and there was a frustrating look in his eyes.
“You will regret it sooner or later for liking another woman and not Mommy. If you come running to me crying, I will not help you. We’ll just wait and see!”
After paying for their meal, Natalie and Ross came out from the restaurant and saw Xavian looking angry.
“Sweetheart, did somebody bully you?”
“I’ve met a self-righteous man.” Then, Xavian looked at Natalie and smiled sweetly. “The man had made a bold statement to me, but he will regret it soon.”
“Man? What man?”
“Mommy, you don’t know him. I’ve only met him just now.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Meanwhile, after taking his car out of the parking lot, Ross gave them a ride home.
Xavian sat at the back seat, and Natalie occupied the passenger seat. After they had settled down, Ross started the car.
At that moment, three men came out of the restaurant.
Steven and Yohan did not notice the car, but Samuel’s gaze was fixed on Natalie and Ross sitting inside it.
The car passed the three of them quickly, and Samuel continued to stare at it. As he was giving them his full attention, he did not notice the small head at the back seat leaning on the window.
On the way to the Bowers residence, Samuel did not say a word and was feeling down.
Upon reaching home, he looked at Gavin and asked, “Where are Franklin and Sophia?”
“Inside their room. They aren’t asleep yet.”
“Thanks.”
After getting the reply, Samuel walked upstairs and knocked on their bedroom door.
“Who is it?”
“It’s me.”
Once they heard Samuel’s voice, Franklin rushed to open the door.
In the Bowers residence, Franklin was not afraid of anyone except for Samuel.
He was well-known for being a mischievous little brat by other people. However, he did not dare to do the same when Samuel was around. Standing in front of him, Franklin crossed his barefooted legs with confusion and restlessness on his face.
“Daddy, it’s late. Is there a reason why you’re looking for me?”
Does he know about my fight with the rotund kid and the fact that I’ve made him cry?
When he thought about it, Franklin turned intimidated at once. He was afraid that Samuel would start scolding him.
While Franklin was waiting for the interrogation to start, Samuel’s low voice was heard above his head.
“Franklin, do you want to see Natalie now?”
